Well done Brits! This is indeed sustainable a development!! Almost 1 billion GBP !!! On new infrastructures for cycles!!! What can I say? WONDERFUL!!! Could other mayors around the globe do the same, please? ... and for those who like me, are interested in this visionary and audacious plan... Here is the link! london.gov.uk/sites/default/files/Cycling%20Vision%20GLA%20template%20FINAL.pdf I will more than double London’s cycling budget – to a total of almost £400m over the next three years, two-and-a-half times more than previously planned. In 2015, we will be spending £145m a year on cycling, or roughly £18 a head, up with the best in Germany and almost on a par with the Netherlands. Over the next 10 years, cycle spending will total £913m, more than treble the previously-planned levels. There will be particularly dramatic increases in spending earmarked for Outer London. I will change how I spend our money to focus far more heavily on serious, meaningful improvements to routes and junctions. I have appointed a Cycling Commissioner, who has helped draw up these policies, to drive them forward and win support for them from the other bodies whose backing we need. In addition to our record funding towards delivering this vision, I will be looking to the boroughs to also deliver extra funding and resources, in parallel, because of the benefits this vision will deliver for all...
